The Trump administration believes that the War in Ukraine will not end “too soon” and that the peace agreement is “still far”
The Trump administration claims that Ukraine and Russia are still far from reaching a peace agreement despite recent progress. JD Vance, the US Vice -President, said the Ukraine war “will not end too soon.”

Vance said that the problem that the US administration is currently facing is how Russia and Ukraine can help “find a compromise” to end the conflict that lasts for more than three years, reports the BBC.
The US Vice -President also says that “It will depend on (Russia and Ukraine) to reach an agreement and end this brutal, extremely brutal conflict“. His conclusion, made in a show from Fox News, was that:”Will not get anywhere … it will not end too soon”.
His comments came shortly after Washington signed an agreement with Kiev to divide the profits obtained from Ukraine's rare minerals in exchange for future US Security.
Trump suggested this week that Ukraine could be willing to give up Crimea, invaded by Russia in 2014, to reach an armistice agreement. But the President of Ukraine, Volodimir Zelenski, has previously suggested that it will not be able to accept Russia's control over the peninsula, invoking the Ukrainian Constitution.
The peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia is “still far”
In a separate interview with Fox News, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that the positions of Ukraine and Russia regarding a peace agreement “approached but are still away from each other and it will take major progress very soon to make it possible“. Otherwise, he added,”President (Trump) will have to make a decision on the time we will dedicate to this“.
The US, Rubio said, is facing other pressing global issues, giving as an example the commercial conflict and Iran's nuclear plans. The US Secretary of State has reiterated that there is no military solution in the war in Ukraine: Russian President Vladimir Putin cannot conquer the whole country and neither Ukraine can push the Russian forces “back where they were in 2014”, according to DPA, quoted by Agerpres.
Russia has rejected Ukraine's proposals for a long -term fire, saying that Kiev must raise an alleged “legal prohibition” on negotiations. The US, who also want a permanent fire termination, have expressed their dissatisfaction with the counter-offends of Moscow, including a mini-Army between May 8 and 10.
